Chapter 5 Flashcards
List the reactivity series from the most reactive to the least reactive
Potassium,K
Sodium,Na
Calcium,Ca
Magnesium,Mg
Zinc,Zn
Iron,Fe
Copper,Cu
Silver,Ag
Gold,Au
What happens when potassium reacts with oxygen,water and dilute acid
Oxygen: potassium burns brightly when heated to form an oxide
Water: potassium very vigorous reaction, the hydroxide is formed
Dilute acid: potassium violent reaction and very dangerous
What happens when sodium reacts with oxygen,water and dilute acid
Oxygen: sodium burns brightly when heated to form an oxide
Water:sodium very vigorous reaction, the hydroxide is formed
Dilute acid: sodium violent reaction and very dangerous
What happens when calcium reacts with oxygen,water and dilute acid
Oxygen: Calcium burns brightly in the air to form an oxide
Water: Calcium has a slow reaction in cold water to form the hydroxide
Dilute acid: calcium has violent reaction and very dangerous
What happens when Magnesium reacts with oxygen,water and dilute acid
Oxygen: magnesium burns brightly in the air to form an oxide
Water: magnesium has a slow reaction in cold water to form the hydroxide
Dilute acid:magnesium has a reaction , which becomes less vigorous as you go down the reactivity list
What happens when zinc reacts with oxygen,water and dilute acid
Oxygen: zinc has slow reaction when heated to form an oxide
Water: zinc reacts with steam but not water to form an oxide
Dilute acid: Zinc has a reaction, but becomes less vigorous as you go down the list
What happens when copper reacts with oxygen,water and dilute acid
Oxygen: zinc has slow reaction when heated to form an oxide
Water:Copper has no reaction with steam or water
Dilute acid: Zinc has a reaction, but becomes less vigorous as you go down the list
What happens when silver reacts with oxygen,water and dilute acid
Oxygen: silver has no reaction
Water: Silver has no reaction with water or steam
Dilute acid: Silver has no reaction
What happens when gold reacts with oxygen,water and dilute acid
Oxygen: silver has no reaction
Water: Silver has no reaction with water or steam
Dilute acid: Silver has no reaction
When you place a clean iron nail in a beaker containing copper sulfate solution.
The blue copper sulfate solution changes to a slightly paler colour. The nail has become copper coloured.
What is the word and symbol equation for this reaction?
Copper sulfate+ iron –> iron sulfate+copper
CuSO4+Fe —> FeSO4 + Cu
What is a displacement reaction?
A more reactive metal can replace a less reactive one in a salt
If a copper nail was placed in a solution of iron sulfate what would happen and why?
There would be no reaction because copper is less reactive than iron.
what is molten
Iron in a melting liquid state
What is the melting point of iron?
1535 degrees
What is an ore?
rock that contains a metal compound
